Ruby and Rust

Josh Teeter (http://joshteeter.com) is a Ruby developer who has been experimenting with Rust, and mixing it into this Ruby. This can give Ruby the performance benefits of a static system languages, with a helpful memory management system.

Josh is the creator of a Rust library called inflector (https://github.com/whatisinternet/inflector), which adds inflection to Rust strings. It supports conversions between Snake, kebab, train, camel, sentence, class, title cases and more. Exposing this library in Ruby can bring big performance benefits to string inflection in Ruby.

Rust (https://www.rust-lang.org/) is a new-ish systems language designed by Mozilla (https://www.mozilla.org/), who are using it to develop servo (https://servo.org/) their next generation browser. Rust promises to bring safer memory management to low-level, high performance computing.
